Catastrophe to Triumph: Bridges of the Tacoma Narrows is a fascinating examination of the true story behind the Tacoma Narrows Bridge fiasco.
Other bridges to nowhere might include the Tacoma Narrows Bridge that took off from very rural Tacoma outskirts and landed in Gig Harbor when the population tallied about 700.
The site spans the history of the bridge from "Galloping Gertie"--the first structure that collapsed in a 1940 windstorm only 4 months after construction--through the new Tacoma Narrows Bridge, currently under construction.
